I have so many wonderful memories of Ruby, some of which involve meeting up in various Biergarten with a host of friends, celebrating any occasion at Shelley and Hansi’s in the Hackenstrasse with Alasdair, Conal, and others, watching many a film in English at “Cinema” and then afterwards often sharing a meal at our favorite Kurdish restaurant in Haidhausen, quite a few lunches at Ruby and Alasdair’s former apartment in their (very) compact kitchen after borrowing my latest book/books from their extensive library, and of course, the multitude of phone calls after I left Munich in 2000, up until our last call in December. When Ruby was around there was always plenty of laughter and positive energy, she delighted in finding out how a person viewed the world, it was always interesting and enjoyable to talk to her. Ruby was well-read and very knowledgeable on a myriad of topics and introduced me to so many wonderful authors, films, and interesting viewpoints, which enriched my life. Although she enjoyed discussing any topic, one of her favorites was the politics and history of the USA. We spent many a telephone hour discussing and analyzing the latest political developments in the States, especially during these past 4 years. She was a caring and concerned friend, someone you could confide in and have fun with. She always seemed to have a joke or two handy to lighten the mood, even if they were sometimes a bit silly. Her positive approach to life and the tasks at hand was heartening, especially when things appeared to be somewhat overwhelming. I learned much from Ruby; she was down-to-earth, practical, and offered wise advice, and if needed, a shoulder to cry on. Our telephone time was always 7.00 am my time in Texas, and now I find when I look at the clock and it happens to be 7:00 am, I have to remind myself that Ruby won’t be calling anymore, it’s still hard to grasp. Ruby, I am so thankful that our paths crossed in this life, I miss you dearly.

I had the privilege of knowing and loving Ruby for 40 years. I remember when Conal was born, and Ruby and Alasdair came by the Eloquia Spachschule with a bottle of Scotch. Ruby said, "Alasdair, don't be so Scottish; give them another drink!" Ruby and I were so close, our children grew up like brother and sister. I remember Ruby's handbag was always full of little cars for Conal. I remember many lunches, in particular at the Ratskeller, where the children could climb and play on the stairs to nowhere, and eating in the fresh air on Dreifaltigkeitsplatz, where the children could play nearby while we talked. I remember parties and meeting in groups in the Hackenstrasse and at the Chinese Tower and many other places. I also remember many events where Ruby either came very late or not at all after falling asleep in the bathtub! I remember ceilidhs, Burns' suppers and the like. I remember travelling up and down California with Ruby, Alasdai, Conal,and Alexa. I remember a holiday in Croatia with the children who both got sick but we still had fun. I remember Ruby trying to learn to ride a bicycle but giving it up after her calves became black and blue from the pedals hitting them. And so much more... Ruby was one of the smartest people I have known and always upbeat and funny. She couldn't finish her own jokes (or funny stories about Conal when he was little) without laughing contagiously. I remember the last time I saw her in 2019 (the Corona virus robbed us of a visit in 2020) at our favorite Greek restaurant. She had back pain and suffered from diabetes but was as ebullient as ever. My life was vastly enriched by knowing Ruby, and I cherish the memories.
